Generation differences between Korean immigrant adult children and elderly parents are examined in terms of their life conditions in the United States.

The life conditions of adult children and elderly parents are inferred from the two groups of respondents: the young and the elderly. The life conditions of these two groups are found t…
Beyond assimilation and pluralism; syncretic sociocultural adaptation of Korean immigrants in the US
Two traditional theories of adaptation of immigrants in the United States, assimilation and pluralism, are based on the assumption that the two processes, Americanization and ethnic attachment, are mutually exclusive. Such an assumption of mutual exclusiveness or zero-sum model limits the utility of the two theories. A conceptual model is presented in this article which includes an additive mode of adaptation based on the idea of non-exclusive-ne…

Adaptation Stages and Mental Health of Korean Male Immigrants in the United States
This study examines the variation patterns of Korean male immigrants’ mental health in relation to their length of residence in the United States and identifies significant factors related to the variations. The main hypothesis suggests two critical stages in which Korean immigrants’ mental health would become highly vulnerable—the early exigency stage (1–2 years after immigration) and the later marginality stage (11–15 years after immigration). …

The empirical data for this study derived from interviews with 622 Korean immigra…
Intra-group Differences in Business Participation
This investigates the ethnic and nativity differentials in self-employment based on small-business experiences of three Asian immigrant groups in the U.S. –Korean, Chinese, and Asian Indians. In light of the 1980 Census data, the intra- and the inter-group differences in the business participation rates of these Asian immigrant groups are examined. Findings reveal that each group has substantial intra-group differences in the business participati…

The 'success' image of Asian Americans
The success stereotype of Asian Americans is examined in terms of three major research questions. (1) What factors account for the vicissitudes of the dominant group's perception of Asian Americans since 1850? (2) To what extent is the current success image of Asian Americans true? (3) How would such a model minority image affect Asian Americans, the other minorities, and majority Americans? The first question is addressed by historical data, and…

Adhesive Sociocultural Adaptation of Korean Immigrants in the U.S
Adhesive Sociocultural Adaptation of Korean Immigrants in the U.S
Adhesive adaptation is conceptualized as a particular mode of adaptation in which certain aspects of the new culture and social relations with members of the host society are added on to the immigrants’ traditional culture and social networks, without replacing or modifying any significant part of the old. In light of this conceptual framework, various patterns of Korean immigrants’ adaptation in the U.S. are examined. For data collection, 615 Ko…

Korean Americans and the “Success” Image
Asian Americans have been recently depicted as “successful” or “model” ethnic groups despite their past sufferings from prejudice and discrimination. This image of Asian Americans and their reputed position in the American racial and ethnic hierarchy raises several questions. First, to what degree is this image valid? Second, how has the success of Asian Americans been empirically measured and interpreted? Third, what are the implications of such…
